On his Truth Social site Monday evening, Trump unveiled plans to place a 25% tariff on all imports from Mexico and Canada on Jan 20, his inauguration day. The US president-elect also said he intends to levy an additional 10% fee on all imports from China.
美国当选总统特朗普25日晚在社交媒体发文，称将在上任的第一天签署命令，对来自加拿大和墨西哥的商品征收25%的关税；他还称将对进口自中国的商品加征10%的关税，理由均涉及芬太尼流入美国的问题。

Trump said on social media that he "had many talks with China about the massive amounts of drugs, in particular Fentanyl, being sent into the United States — But to no avail... and drugs are pouring into our country." The US will be charging China an additional 10 percent tariff on all Chinese imports, he added.
特朗普的第二条帖文将美国的芬太尼问题归咎于中国，称与中方就芬太尼等毒品问题进行了谈判，但毫无进展。由于大量毒品涌入美国，美方将对所有中国进口商品加征10%的关税。
China is one of the world's toughest countries on counternarcotics both in terms of policy and its implementation. Fentanyl is an issue for the US. In the spirit of humanity, China has given support to the US's response to this issue. As early as in 2019, China officially scheduled all fentanyl-related substances and is the first country in the world ever to do so. China has carried out extensive and in-depth counternarcotics cooperation with the US, which has been highly productive. This is a clear fact for all to see.
中国外交部发言人26日回应：“中国是世界上禁毒政策最严格、执行最彻底的国家之一。芬太尼是美国的问题。本着人道主义精神，中国为美国应对芬太尼类问题提供了支持。2019年，中国就宣布正式整类列管芬太尼类物质，是全球第一个正式整类列管芬太尼类物质的国家。中方同美方开展了广泛、深入的禁毒合作并取得显著成效，这是有目共睹的。
China remains ready to continue counternarcotics cooperation with the US on the basis of equality, mutual benefit and mutual respect. We hope the US will not take China's goodwill for granted and work to ensure that the hard-won positive dynamics will stay in the counternarcotics cooperation.
中方愿在平等互利、相互尊重的基础上，继续同美方开展禁毒合作。美方应该珍惜中方的善意，维护中美禁毒合作来之不易的良好局面。”

Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum responded Tuesday, warning the president-elect that "neither threats nor tariffs will solve the issue of migration or drug consumption. Imposing one tariff would mean another comes in response, continuing like this until we put shared companies at risk," she said, reading from a letter addressed to Trump.
墨西哥总统辛鲍姆表示，威胁和关税不能阻止移民现象，也不能阻止美国的毒品消费，她已致函特朗普，敦促双方开展对话与合作。
Canadian officials responded to the announcement in a statement posted to X on Monday night, saying that their country "places the highest priority on border security and the integrity of our shared border" and is "essential to US domestic energy supply".
加拿大方面强调，加拿大对美国的能源供应至关重要，去年美国60%的原油进口来自加拿大。加拿大财政部长和公共安全部长当天发表联合声明称，加拿大“将边境安全和我们共同边界的完整性放在首位”。
Tariffs effectively serve as a tax on goods imported to the United States. Although Trump has repeatedly said targeted foreign countries pay the tariffs, they are in fact paid by companies that purchase the imported goods — and those costs are typically passed onto American consumers, according to CNN.
美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）称，美国消费者将为这些关税买单，穷人将受到更大伤害。
